An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-5479 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Libav Libav. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5479/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5479/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-5479","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5479/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-5479","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-73wj-87qj-vf4x","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-5479"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Libav media library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash the application via a crafted file with specific dimensions, causing a divide-by-zero error in the Libav media library.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"libav","vendor":"libav"},{"product":"leap","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"ubuntu","vendor":"ubuntu"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-189","name":null}],"description":"The ff_h263_decode_mba function in libavcodec/ituh263dec.c in Libav before 11.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a file with crafted dimensions.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5479","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"libav:libav","products":["libav:libav","opensuse:leap"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5481"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ISC BIND Data Processing Errors","id":"CVE-2015-5477"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-19","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Libav before 0.8.12 allow remote attackers to have unknown impact and vectors.","id":"CVE-2014-3984","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-06-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9051","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-18"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4609","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9719","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-5766","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-18"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-5684","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17129","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-04"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can crash the application via a crafted file with specific dimensions, causing a divide-by-zero error in the Libav media library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5479/"}
